| Description: | Top slope of the context is level. The soil color is dark reddish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is moderately sorted. It is clayey silt. | |
| Notes: | 6883 runs east to west between walls 5631 and 6267 to the north and 6120 to the south. Many sherds of a pithos were found and am ash deposit is evident similar to the eastern boundary. In the middle of the context along with the large pithos sherds, there were many large cobbles. We stopped upon hitting a stepped ash layer sloping down to the west. From the pithos sherds a part of a molded marble piece, 6883 appears to be a dump pit. One coin was found (2010-66). | |
